Honestly, it does not surprise me vegetarians came out less likely. I don't think this research is any major break through and I am not going to review the research myself, but I agree that many vegetarians are healthier because they don't eat as much fast food. I also agree that animal products are unhealthy if they are more than a small percentage of your diet. So, a 5-10% organic meat eater would get cancer as often as a vegetarian, where a 30-50% meat eater would get cancer more often considering there wouldn't be enough room left in the diet for sufficient health food. Humans can only take so much.
Anyway, going vegetarian correctly makes sure you have plenty of vegetables and fruits. It wouldn't surprise me if new results found those who eat meat in moderation and only a few times a week only get cancer slightly more often than vegans.
Good discussion I think.
